Viva Las Vegas

* I'll be posting Project 2010 on the other blog *
We had such a great visit with Mark's brother, Jason.
He is the most gracious host you will ever meet!
We enjoyed a wonderful night at "LOVE"
(The Cirque du Soleil Beatles's Show)
It was wonderful!!!!
My cute mom-in-law & I had pampering manicures and we all enjoyed
a delicious buffet at Treasure Island. Mark had his first Hot Yoga class
We so loved the sun and warm weather.
Lots of walks around Jason's beautiful neighborhood. And the food . . .
Hopefully that lovely holiday can take us through the
rest of our Cache Valley winter.

We met one of Jason's Friends, Darlene. She is a very energetic, positive, gifted person who has
embraced the world of raw like no one we had ever met. She has a very informative web site where she shares a lot of information she has gleaned over the years and some pretty fabulous recipes. Check out her amazing Raw Pizza recipe here. It is definitely worth the effort. We plan on having a little raw party at our house one of these next few weeks. We really enjoy learning about new things and meeting new friends. We also feel moderation is important in our lives. We could ALL use more fresh foods in our diets and who ever gets enough fresh fruit or veggies in their daily intake??


The crust was a dehydrated crust and then topped with
fresh tomato sauce or fresh pesto.
Then you got to load it up with all kinds of fresh veggies
or fruit, mushrooms AND
some cheese made from nuts! Who knew?
Sooo yummy. You really should try it!
And the salad dressing - please try her recipes for those.
They will be on her site.

I'm going to look up those dressing recipes. AND maybe it's time for a little vacation (did I seem a little tired and stressed today?!)
